Their other posts in the index, biggest breakout first.
Things to get if you want to start being a content creator. If I wanted to start being a content creator tomorrow. Okay, first is the Teza app. I have this app. I know most creators I work with utilize Teza to do photo editing. It also has video editing. So you can add like film and filters and blur and grain and like all of those things. It's super easy to use. I believe they have a free version and a paid version. It is a great app. I would definitely download it. Okay, next I'm like kind of late to this trend, but this thing called an Octo buddy. And you just stick it to the back of your phone and looks like that. And you just stick it to the back of your phone. And it can literally stick to anything. So like a mirror or glass. So you don't have to have like a tripod or things like that to film. Genius. You can just get this on Amazon. I think it's like $8. Okay, and then next is the clip on light. So this is the one I use. It's by Nuwa Nuwa Moa. Um and it just clips on your phone and then it is super super bright. This one's dead. Um highly recommend because if you're filming late at night or after work, um obviously you don't have natural light. So uh clip on light really helps with that. Canva. Canva is free. Download the app. Use it on your phone or browser. It is incredible for making like story slides or graphics or anything you might need your logo. All of that. Uh Splice. So Splice is something I used to use for video editing, but now I primarily only edit within the apps and then I'll use like TickSave or different things like that to download the videos for other platforms. But if you wanna edit out of platform, I really like Splice. Okay, this one is like you don't need this, but if you do plan to do talking to camera, um having something like a little mini mic really does help with the sound, especially if you like live in a busy area and it's really loud outside. This really helps. And then I also got this little guy, which is like a clip on mic that you can put on like right here. And it comes with this little like transmitter that you just plug into your phone. And it is really good. Also from Amazon. And the mini mic is from Amazon too. Okay, what's next? Okay, so Opus. Opus is an AI video editing software and it basically allows you to upload to like 30 minutes of video and then you can say cut me down five pieces, made for TikTok and you can add branding. It cuts them down, finds the most interesting parts of your video via AI, which is so crazy. Uh Planoly. So Planoly is really great. You don't need this. Like you can do a free version of this in like Canva or something like that. But basically it is a way to map out your feed and you can like move things, um accordingly. I just find it really nice if you're really looking for like that aesthetic feed and you want it to all flow together. Okay, the last one here is Canon Creator Kit. This is like a splurge and I really don't think you need this if you wanna be a content creator. Everything can be done on your iPhone, which is amazing. But if you wanna take it to the next level and you wanna do like vlogs or longer form or you just want better quality. This camera, um from Canon is so good. And it comes with in the they have literally something called a Canon Creator Kit, which is so funny. Um but it comes with this like additional mic. It comes with like this handheld tripod, which is nice. Um you can see here. So this is like if you're ready to go to the next level, you don't need it. It's expensive. Um but if you're there, this kit it's just a really nice camera and comes with everything you would need. I have an Amazon storefront, so I'll link all this stuff into it and it'll be in my bio. But yeah, I mean, some of this stuff is free and some of it's like $8 again. You don't need all of it, but I think these are tools that really help you, um and especially if you're looking to be a content creator and have a full time job. These are things that will help with efficiency and quality, um, which is what you would need at the stage in your career.
